H.R. 7105: Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion Act of 2026

This bill, known as the Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion Act of 2026, proposes changes to U.S. immigration law specifically addressing the situation at the southern border with Mexico. Here’s a breakdown of what the bill would do:

Declaration of Invasion

The bill allows the President of the United States to declare that an invasion exists at the southern border. This declaration is based on Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which relates to the guarantee of protection against invasion.

Definition of Southern Border

The bill defines the "southern border" as the international land border between the United States and Mexico.

Notification to Congress

After declaring an invasion, the bill requires that the President must notify Congress within seven days of issuing or terminating the proclamation.

Suspension of Entry

During a declared invasion, the bill grants the President the authority to suspend the entry of any individual who unlawfully attempts to cross the southern border. This amendment modifies existing law regarding the suspension of entry to allow for such action under these circumstances.

Ineligibility for Immigration Relief

The bill states that individuals who unlawfully enter or attempt to enter the U.S. across the southern border during a declared invasion will not be eligible for any immigration relief or protection that would allow them to remain in the country. This provision specifies that certain types of relief and protections are excluded during this period.

• Section 208 - Asylum
• Section 241(b)(3) - Protection from deportation
• Section 212(d)(5) - Parole into the U.S.
• Any other specified by the Secretary of Homeland Security

No Court Jurisdiction

Courts will not have the authority to review any decisions made regarding the eligibility of individuals who are affected by this ineligibility rule, with the exception of claims asserting U.S. nationality.

Public Health and Security Information Requirement

The bill introduces a provision requiring individuals entering the U.S. during a declared invasion to provide sufficient information for health and security checks. Failure to do so will render them inadmissible, leading to immediate deportation.

Authority to Repel and Remove

During a declared invasion, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, is granted authority to:

• Repel the invasion
• Detain, expel, or remove individuals involved in the invasion
• Prevent further entry of these individuals into the United States

The President can also direct federal resources and personnel to implement these actions.

Termination of Authority

The powers outlined in this bill will end when the President announces that the invasion is over.
